apparently I've done stupid things by reading all "l" as "1", thus making it uncrackable by john the ripper
try look back at your n900 and see if those code written above is exactly right, and post back the right one
hint. ssh to n900 and copy it directly from the terminal instead of manually typing it
edit
okay, got it. try 56021

Gee, now I can crack my lock code, how thrilling. I never lock my N900 anyway.

Why was it so easy for me? Does it get scrambled if you change it from 12345, which is what mine is?
